I us...Here's a comment that came in by e-mail:<br /><br />I use a 4x6 photo album for mine -- it works great -- I keep 4x6 cards with me for everything from lists to whatever, and so it is easy to have one on hand if I am at someone's home and they have a recipe to share... it just slips in the sleeve where the photo would go -- and it is plastic coated for those splatters.<br /><br />In doing this, we also keep small albums of seasonal recipes -- in those tiny albums you can get at the pharmacy.<br /><br />Also -- if the album is also 3 ring, you CAN simply add in the pages that are too big at the end -- you know, those recipes you print from your computer...<br /><br />There are SOOOOOO many more options if you think this way -- and often folks have those albums around that they never got to stuffing with photos -- so they are just sitting there as clutter ;^)*Jeri Danskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01647833266269245240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4238401484560614586.post-23881286061319984502011-02-16T06:45:51.642-08:002011-02-16T06:45:51.642-08:00Nice items. I use 3 ring binders, I like that the...Nice items. I use 3 ring binders, I like that they are easy to add/delete/rearrange. Yes, I did say binderS - about 10 of them. Can you hear the robot alarm "DANGER! DANGER!"?<br /><br />By all means write down the family favorites and the family heirlooms (even if it's for something you never make, like stewed opossum - it's a fascinating part of family history). BUT - do NOT clip out recipes and file them away to make "someday". Clip them and make them that week or the next week latest. Filing for "someday" is how I ended up with so many binders, and it's overwhelming to even look through to pick something out to try. <br /><br />I need to re-group and continue to pull out the favorites/heirlooms (no opossum recipes in my family though) and just chuck the one's I've never made. I suspect that many are nearly duplicates anyway.JustGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08948391538309176039noreply@blogger.com
